The first Moon landing by a human was that of the United States' Neil Armstrong, commander of the Apollo 11 mission, accompanied by Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin. On July 20 (or 21st in time zones east of and including GMT) 1969, while fellow crew member Michael Collins piloted the command module Columbia, Armstrong landed the lunar module Eagle on the surface of the Moon at 4:17:42 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The successful Moon landings carried out by Project Apollo, similar to the Luna missions, occurred as the USSR and the US were in a cold war contest to be the first on the Moon, which became known as the space race. In subsequent years a small movement formed accusing the U.S. government of hoaxing the moon landings, claims that have largely been discredited by scientists.

A day (symbol: d) is a unit of time equivalent to 24 hours. It is not an SI unit but it is accepted for use with SI. The SI unit of time is the second. The term comes from the Old English dg, with similar terms common in all other Indo-European languages, such as dies in Latin and dive in Sanskrit.
